Ride the Rockies - Day 3

Greetings Readers

Ride the Rockies Update - Day Three - Coming SoonUpdate: 06/16/09 @ 8:32 P.M. - Once again I have limited internet access to report that I am still kicking ass and taking names! Booyah!Well. Monarch Pass - I fucked the bitch (and banged her all morning long - just kidding) and I can add another pin to my map of Colorado Rocky Mountain Passes that I have climbed on a bike. I would have to say that the 9 miles of climbing today was pretty darn rough. I have to find my grind and keep going with that to the top. Since I have never been over Monarch Pass I had no clue how the road was to the top and on the descent.I have to say that the beginning that climb was tough and it never let up. The same continious grade and I was just finding my own personal hell and just fucking deal with it.Wait til I get to tell you Readers about the day before. For 22 miles I was a god. The biking gods may have granted me my strength that day, but in reality it was the big gear training that I have been doing for the past five years. I knew that the last portion of the course - about 30 miles was flat and I knew, just fucking knew that was my time to shine like a mother fucker. I have mentioned in the past about me envisioning myself on the Queen K, but this time I have a 25 mile portion of the ride that I was number one. Not one fucking rider could catch, keep up or even try drafting me. I was that good and fast. I really have to admit I think it was the HED. rims. Just that little difference made all the difference in the world. I was passing rider after rider and keep everyone in my wake. Well, I better stop with that so you can read about it later when I do get back to Denver and be able to transcribe all my shorthand to my blogsite.By the way, I met Colin in Salida and ... time's up.. sorry Readers...until the next timeDaryl CharleyThe Fallen Athlete

About Me

I am not sure how much you want to know about me, but you may want to start with some of the blogs I have listed below and then make a judgement call from there. you may get a laugh, but then again I might piss you off, but remember that this is me "A Diamond in the Rough"
One may say that the blogs are not the true me, but I have to agree that they are - up to certain point. I am a complete different person when I am at work and when I am off work either biking or running. I do not have a split personality nor a mental case. I have learned that I can not carry one type of character into the other part of my life without consequences to me or others around me.
I guess in closing, never judge a book by its cover!
By the way, My MAIN BLOG is "An Athlete's Rise & Fall In the World", which is the one I choose to update on a regular basis.
All other blogs are of different events and please peruse at your leisure. They are incomplete, but I keep adding pictures and more info to the blogs when I remember to do so.
